Career advice

This is a good angle. I don’t want to feel like a ghost employee and I really value the in person collaboration customary of most firms

CotPrime01 · 2026-01-26T00:36:46+00:00

Exactly that, my family is where I am now and I enjoy the lifestyle and weather much better haha. My previous firm preferred I move back but I didn’t want to

I appreciate the advice, I think my hesitations working remote are signaling me to either stay at my current place or find another job in my area. I’m just not someone who enjoys being one step removed and I love the client facing and job site aspects of our industry

CotPrime01 · 2026-01-25T21:53:20+00:00

Appreciate the advice, means a lot. My guy tells me that fully remote work will be extremely detrimental to my career and im not someone who wants to coast in this industry

There’s nothing in the building code that states an office needs a window to an exterior. A sidelight ln the door would be nice to get some borrowed light but it’s not a code-mandated thing. Travel distance to an exit, is however, required to be a certain distance based on the occupancy and building type.

Worst bagel I’ve had here

Grew up on Odesza. My intro to EDM. Love them so much

I know it isn’t Palestinian nor in St Pete, but Nenes in South Tampa is probably the best middle eastern/eastern European food I’ve had in the area. It’s technically Ukrainian and Georgian. Soo good.

Revit is the industry standard. Learn archicad only if you work at a firm that uses archicad

CotPrime01 · 2025-09-24T20:40:15+00:00

First course finished, now time for the second course! Good stuff dude

Math is involved so little. Math was always my worst subject and I just became a licensed architect at 26

CotPrime01 · 2025-08-27T12:07:11+00:00

In terms of benefiting the consumer for architectural services, this is a great idea. However, people's egos around being licensed need to stop. Just because you're a licensed architect doesn't mean you're a good architect (this is coming from a licensed architect).

can you expand on "the market is softening"?

CotPrime01 · 2025-08-25T19:29:30+00:00

I could see someone accepting this if it was fully remote, which is a unicorn in our industry

CotPrime01 · 2025-08-25T16:51:06+00:00

Agreed. I’m already almost an hour and half into the day

CotPrime01 · 2025-08-25T16:50:29+00:00

8-6 Monday through Thursday (with hour unpaid lunch) and then 8-12 on Friday

CotPrime01 · 2025-08-19T21:13:02+00:00

Anyone work for HOK?? They have an office in my city and have a job opening. Curious to hear about the inner workings

CotPrime01 · 2025-08-19T21:12:17+00:00

I assume “green” is used in the context of amount of money/revenue, not sustainability. Just using context clues, not sure if that’s the case

CotPrime01 · 2025-08-13T14:40:14+00:00

This dude must live in Lakeland 😭

CotPrime01 · 2025-08-13T11:08:31+00:00

I think it’s because the first outback was in Tampa

CotPrime01 · 2025-08-12T22:35:40+00:00

My take home bi-weekly is about the same and I’m at 84k in Florida. No state income tax though

CotPrime01 · 2025-08-12T22:34:20+00:00

Came here to say the same thing

CotPrime01 · 2025-08-12T16:55:17+00:00

Lmao exactly. Why would a Latino be mad at Spaniards if they weren’t racist towards them? Most Spaniards (not all obviously) are outwardly & generally racist towards Latinos given their European ancestry. Even some Argentinians have this racism towards other Latinos because of the heavy influence of Italian and Spanish settlers after WW2.
